[PATCH v3 1/4] HID: roccat: fix locking in roccat_connect() and roccat_disconnect()

From: Dmitry Antipov <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-16 08:00:23
Subsystem: hid core layer, roccat drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Stefan Achatz, Linus Torvalds

Extend critical section in roccat_connect() to ensure that partially
initialized 'struct roccat_device' is never exposed in 'devices' list,
and do the same in roccat_disconnect() to avoid racy 'devices' access
against roccat_release().

Signed-off-by: Dmitry Antipov <redacted>

v3: likewise
v2: unchanged since v1
